Set the CPU to 100-1000, and to be honest, that's not terrible battery life for this phone.

Sounds like an app problem to me.

No problem, glad it works! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] tytyty11:
Why would a format do anything related to that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Could be a problem with the sd card. Thus, a format gets rid of that problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adrift02:
Hrm, sounds like an uncalibrated battery to me. You should be getting 10+ easy with under 2hours screen time.

Edit: Just saw your post. Yea, this is important with new roms. I have found the full charge, full drain, full charge, wipe method works best but either of the calibration methods should fix your issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I don't, but as the user below says, you may want to to calibrate the battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thadialeckt:
42% battery 18 hours in with moderate use. Wifi and GPS on the whole time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sfal8705:
So how would I fix this... should I send an error report to the maker of the app
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, I would. Or wipe the data of the app in manage applications and see if that fixes it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tytyty11:
Well my card reads perfectly fine infact I have had no trouble mounting prior to the intallation of this rom. So I don't understand the logic behind is being a problem related to the sd card. I mean I wouldn't have a problem formatting it if I could back up my files..however I can't because I can't mount the card 2 begin with lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes you can, formatting can be done from recovery. And if you don't want to try all possibilities, please don't come here for help. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] tytyty11:
I'm certainly wlling to try all possibilities I was just hoping to understand the logic behind it prior to doing it. And what do u mean it can be formatted via recorvery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
There's an option on recovery to format your sd card. You can either try that or reflashing the rom. Either one/both is probably going to get it working. By the way, are you using the USB cable that came with the phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
Well I flashed the rom again this time without the media folder on my sdcard and now the sound options work or at least pull up, going to have to put it back and see what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
See? Things on your sd card matter ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
u could also try mounting the card in a card reader and back it up there before you format it. it really does help sometimes...
[Epic 4G Android Development] tytyty11:
I meant that I couldn't format it because I have important stuff on the card I don't want to lose and if I can't plug it in then I can't back up that important stuff. But I have multiple cords one including the one that comes with the phone. Ill try and find another one and see if that changes otherwise ill reflash it.

Just curious tho are our phones supposed to still pop up with the menu on how to connect when u plug in the phone or was it removed with the custom rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
When you plug it in, it should say connected in the notification bar. Pull it down, and hit the icon. Then, mount it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bikcmp:
Thanks dude. Maybe you should append this to the main post in case someone else needs it :).
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, and not a bad idea :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bikcmp:
Sorry, some more questions. Any ideas on how I can disable the circle battery mod (and go back to the stock one). Also, I'd like to try to go back to the stock boot logo. Ideas? :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I can make the battery, as for the boot animation you'll have to find the default one and swap it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] T-980:
Sweet, I'm finally able to post here now.

Anyways, great job on this rom. This is by far the best one I've used thus far. Keep up the great work :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
when you make a new mod for the batt icon app, will it update via ota (like through the market) or will we need to dl the update from this thread?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
It will show up in the current app ;) All I have to do is add it to the server. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
i went with 200-800 conservative, and showed him how to scale up if needed for watching movies or whatnot. we'll see how it goes. if anything ill get him a replacement battery because im thinking the one has now might be bad.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bikcmp:
Think you could throw me the battery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, that's always a possibility.

It'll be in the app ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
i think i ran into an issue, first big one ive seen on my device... (ive been running ACS since the release of 1.0 with no major issues)

i was messing around in the batt icon mod app and dl'd just a couple of icons for this rom with out rebooting.

it was taking forever and a day to pull up anything and to dl the mod but it eventually went through.

before closong the app i went to the menu and clicked on the restore button.

the device rebooted.

when it starts up, it will vib once, sit there for a few moments then vib 3 times, reboot and do it over again and not get past the ACS boot up screen.

ive pulled the batt and that did not help.

i would love to provide a catlog but i dont know where to get it and think i wouldnt be able to either way now since i think i have to reflash.

just a heads up for whoever needs to know
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Did you select the mod specifically for SFB 1.0.2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
yup yup, the one on the very top yes?

i noticed that it was an issue for others to select anything other than so i just browsed the other icons and didnt dl any of them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bikcmp:
Think you can disable the battery percentage? I tried the stock DK-28 (or whatever it's called), and it still has the percentage in it. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
They all have been tested and work with 1.0.2, so not sure what went wrong.

Yes I could, but I'm not sure if I will to be honest....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fr3shY24:
Hey man... I thought I'd try and help you out because I used to have the same issues, furthermore with any ROM. I used to have my battery down to 15% by the end of the school day (6AM-2PM) with light use (a little texting/web/internet).

I flashed the fully loaded version 1.0.1 of SyndicateROM and at first I still had crappy battery life. The trick was calibrating my battery... something you should def do once you change kernels. There are two ways to do it, but this is the method I chose:

1. Charge your battery up to 100% normally with the phone on.

2. Once you see the light/notification for battery full, plug it out, turn it off, and then charge it up until it's all 100%.

3. Plug it out, turn it back on, and repeat until it is again at 100%.

4. Plug out the charger, turn it off, and reset your battery stats in Clockwork Recovery. (Advanced > Reset Battery Stats).

I believe I had 2 poor battery cycles after doing so (thinking it didn't work), but on the next charge I knew it had worked! I was trying to figure out how much battery life I could get out of the stock battery so I didn't charge it last night and have been using it normally. With medium usage, I was able to get 29 hrs 39 mins 18 secs out of a single charge (I didn't want it to completely drain and turn off as that lessens the capacity of the battery so I plugged it in at 3-5% which would be another hour or two).

I had gotten almost 30 hours out of this ROM which really surprised me... you don't understand how happy I am now that I don't have to charge it every afternoon. Also, I heard an android app called JuiceDefender does wonders for your battery life so give that a try as well.

I'd also like to note that I didn't use any other battery saving methods, lower settings, or anything like that. Try it out and let me know how it goes!

Regards,

Fr3shY

P.S. I wonder how much of an increase I'll get from updating to v1.0.2!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
oh well, looks like another wipe and flash for me!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bikcmp:
Why not? If it's too hard for you to do it, i'll look into trying to do it - I could probably figure it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Simply because that is not the purpose of my app; it is supposed to give you the %, not take it away.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bikcmp:
Ah! Ideas on how I can disable it without the app then?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Using the stock theme for this rom should work yes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
haha im quoting myself =P

thought... with this issue and this new rom, could i just install the rom again without wiping and possibly save me some time with dling and reconfiguring everything?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You could, but only if data is not corrupted
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
I put my 351 ringtone/nots back on my phone and they are now seen in the android settings
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
wish me luck!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Awesome, glad you got it working.

Luck wished :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
FRICK YA!!!! your wishing capabilities are wonderous!

worked like a charm, didnt lose a thing, back in the game!

curious though... i thought asop lock screen was supposed to be on this rom... am i missing something?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Awesome! Glad it worked out well :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmikeyv:
Can anyone please provide a link or tell me where I can find a download of the 1.0.4 kernel...I flashed another Tom and when I came back my kernel was changed...not sure how that happened. Sorry, I skimmed through this thread and the twilight zone thread, but couldn't find it:(
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just reflash this rom :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmikeyv:
Oh...ok, thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, let me know if you need anything else!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremiah.rs:
Hey impaler, do you know where I can get my hands on the thinkfree office that comes on stock roms? I need one that'll work with this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Flash this from recovery :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah yeah, post deleted, no Off Topic! I saw my (rather funny) mistake, changed to emotionless BEAST ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremiah.rs:
thanks! fyi, the install script says installing transparent mms for some reason haha. In any case, it works, so thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, I know, I was too lazy to change it :p Glad it works :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] fzammetti:
Installed 1.0.2 last night and loving it! FC's I had with the last version are gone and speed of course is insane.

One problem I'm seeing though... holding power doesn't give me the usual menu, it just reboots immediately. Not the end of the world, but anyone else seeing that?

And before you ask: yes, wiped everything before instal :) 5 times each actually because I'm an overkill kind of guy ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
You weren't supposed to wipe before install.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Try reflashing the rom, no wipe to fix that :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jpeepers:
Hey impaler, did you ever get the chance to do the stock theme with battery percent? You had mentioned you might be able to get to it today.

Thanks again!

[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I haven't been able to yet :o
[Epic 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
My dad can receive texts but not send them. Is this an issue that has been addressed? Can't search when using the xda app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No issue with that. Try reflashing. Or, it may be an issue with sprint in his area. I had that on my hero once.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boy143878:
Does anyone have zip or apk that will install touchwiz 3 on this rom? Tia. I downloaded an apk from one of the posts in the general section but it doesn't install.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
The fully loaded version of the rom has TW.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
Just ran fix permissions and rebooted, then the texts went thru.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Did your dad run level 2 task killing? Never run that, or texts won't send until you reboot ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
I dont see how this would work because plugging the charger in while having the phone off boots it to recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
Just asked, you hit the nail on the head. Good call.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, that'll happen on any rom. Just one of those things you learn from experience not to do :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
Hey just fyi on what I've seen throughout this topic...

If you have changed the batt icon in the batt icon mod app and it wasn't one that was under the menu specifically for this rom then you will get the reboot issue when you long hold the power buttn. Idk if that your case but it sounds familiar.

Did the keyboard stop skipping keys in ec05???
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
Wut? Did you change your battery icon? That causes issues if you didn't choose one of the Epic default ones.

I calibrate it by:

1. Charge until blue with phone on

2. Unplug, shut it down completely, plug in, charge until blue

3. Unplug, Turn it on (let all processes complete), plug in, charge until blue

4. Unplug, boot to recovery, wipe stats, reboot (let all processes complete), plug in, charge until blue

I've read too many times that it it bad to run lithiums all the way down. This method is the fastest as well.

I'm also a big fan of Juice Defender
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Now come on, you're asking a lot from samsung ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] antmon:
same problem here!

thought i was going nuts....

i picked one of the battery icons from within 'epic 4g' and was getting a slew of fc errors on the reboot....

keeping the stock battery circle icon or any of the other icons from within the 'syndicate' section has stopped my fc issues....i also see the usual options available again when holding down the power button...

:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Don't pick it from Epic 4G ;) Pick it from the very top, Featured: SYNDICATEROM :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] antmon:
i know, i know, i know... even though it was so damn obvious which section to pick from...lol

:p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Catalyst Shift:
I've been running this rom on my epic and comparing to my wife's stock epic. Yeah... she's getting over her hesitation on rooting her phone after seeing this. It's been really solid for me, but the battery usage has been strange. I don't seem to have as long of battery as my wife's epic, and it reports the screen as using generally around 90% of the battery. I'm guessing other services are getting grouped in there, so it's not the actual number that I have a problem with. But lower battery life than stock, is there anything that might be causin this? Aside from the obvious usage and apps running, I feel like even with similar apps and usage hers is still clearly longer battery life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
okay well do i need to do a backup and how do i do that before i hit apply?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol ;)

Phones are all different and are going to have battery fluctuations. Just the way it is.

I always would from recovery, but the app backs up the original framework too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boy143878:
What version of touch wiz is in the fully loaded? I thought I saw it was v2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jok3sta:
Is there anyway to disable the adblocker

Sent from my Epic 3g
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes. Download an app called adfree. Open it, and click revert :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
The screen is a big time battery hog. I'm assuming you play with your phone a bit more than your wife does which leads to the screen being on and the battery draining. Check your battery stats, you should expect to get around 3-4 hours of screen on time at the very most. Also try calibrating your battery (I posted my method a few posts back). Bright colors, whites, and live backgrounds kill your battery as well. Dark colors use less power and black turns of the pixel completely which will save you some juice. Always check your app's setting to see if there is a dark theme for it. Also, everyone's battery is different ike theimpaler stated above. There also may be a app running in the background that is killing your battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jok3sta:
Worked perfect thanks. Now I can play words with friends sweet

[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
You know, that really f*&king pisses me off. This issue cannot be fixed for some reason... ill try and bring it to sprint and get a new phone if its not fixed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
It can be fixed. We had it fixed in our rom, and will put that fix back in when we iron some bugs out ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
What about the AM/PM fix; i downloaded both from mirror and on this site it still only displays time without AM or PM. How do i fix that? thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I think k0 is working on getting that up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TrentB:
I have been having market app issues for a few weeks now. The my apps page doesn't display any of my apps. Previously clear data+clear cache would fix the problem for a day or two. Now even thay doesn't work. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Attach them to the market with titanium.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Is there a zip of the 1.0.4 kernel for those who want to restore a backup coming from a different rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Apollo83:
Yeah i think calibrating the battery was the way to go. As of right now i'm sitting at 95% with 4 hours 46mins off the charger. I have about 45 mins worth of screen time now with texts here and there and some web browsing. Hopefully this last :).. thanks everyone for all your help!!! Long Live the Epic community!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just reflash the rom to get the kernel back. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] TrentB:
That worked (all in my apps) but they all say free rather than installed. Will the market find updates properly?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, they should :D May just be a brief market bug in your area.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nickf914:
random shut offs are KILLING ME

I appreciate your help in advance...wtf do I do?! I tried reflashing, I cleared data, I didn't use my recovery root, and still getting these random "shut offs"...any ideas? My next move will have to be odin back, then give acs another shot...was working fine for weeks!:eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just wipe data and reflash the rom, will be good as new :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nickf914:
I tried that...several times over. :( any other suggestions? Thanks man
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Really? So you boot into recovery, clear factory/data, clear cache, and still nothing? May want to ODIN in that case.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Restore backup and flash rom on top without wiping anything?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, should work so long as the backup is of SFB :p :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] nickf914:
Odin it is :( thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] silverhawk_184:
I had/have the same problem, I followed a post saying that you should reset the battery when the battery reaches critical and then charge to 100%. I am currently trying this method! Hope I get more than the measly 10hrs (90% standby with GPS on) (Ive been down at Disney, using the upinpoint app). Before, on the previous Viper Rom, I was getting 27hrs standby and 18hrs with full use. I hope this is going to help alot!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
It is SFB. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kalel_293:
omg! i was just about to pick from epic 4g list...didnt realize syndicaterom had a drop down menu! lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Glad I saved you some FCs ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] TrentB:
So force stopping market and clearing data after having titanium backup fix the market links makes the market now acknowledge that the apps are installed.

Now to wipe battery stats, I had 39% battery, rebooted phone and it said I had 2%...
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
So is there a link to the theme because i applied the stock theme to get rid of the battery icon earlier before i knew about the battery icon mod, but anyways instead of reinstalling the whole rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just flash the themed rom, no wipe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Catalyst Shift:
I'm familiar with oled, both my wife and I have dark themes wherever possible. I have been using my phone slightly more than she does, but she also doesn't like the screen turning off when she's using it or pressing the button to turn off her screen, so her screen timeout is like 15 minutes and anytime she uses her phone it sits there with the screen on after she's done. I'll try calibrating the battery though, see how that goes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, that'll be a battery drainer ;) Check out an app on the market called screeble, she might like that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Or apply the "Stock Circle" battery mod. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hmmmm, good point :p :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
no reason why is because the notifications bar is different and i wanted it back but the battery gauge i have now which is like the speedometer one. So thats why but wheres the the themed rom because i cant seem to spot that anywhere?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Adam_v1:
I'm having the exact problem here. It started on 1.011 and it was still doing it after upgrading to 1.0.1 as well. After using ODIN to get back to stock EB13 and then flashing the ROM from scratch I was fine for most of the day but suddenly it decided to come back. I restored no data and from any app and yesterday before using ODIN I deleted all my apps and it would still do this.

I checked yesterday and today and noticed I'm getting "[PWR] set_gpio_dvs : invalid parameters (5)" every couple of seconds if I check dmsg with adb.

Anyone know what that might mean? I tried messing around with SetCPU and the message spam seemed to go away when I changed the governor to conservative but the 85%+ CPU on time did not go away.

Needless to say I would LOVE a fix for this as a phone chewing through 7-10% of the battery while sitting there doing nothing and on wifi is not good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Probably already answered but..what's up with the 4g not coming on? Came from 1.0 wiped. Flashed..re wiped flashed. Tried standard and fully loaded. Never had this issue before. What am I doing wrong?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
The themed rom is the rom; just the regular download is on the second post, the standard rom is themed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
4G comes on.... try a data wipe and reflash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Thats the Rom though i just want the Theme, i dont want to, reflash the whole thing, thats a bit much lol. Especially seeing how it is 116MB, the only other download is the stock theme, not the one that comes in the Rom.
